How to eat
Before using, brush the mushrooms clean, trim a bit off the bottom of the stem, and chop them small. Incorporate the mushrooms into a creamy risotto or pasta sauce, or briefly sauté them in some oil with garlic and herbs, then serve them alongside a delightful green salad topped with some Parmesan cheese as garnish.
